After Nanny Qiu finished her words, Ling Qingwan had already cursed Wei Xun's eight generations of ancestors in her heart.
What do you mean you can't compare to other noble ladies? Then go and bully others! Why are you staring at me every day! Even if I make a fool of myself, so what! It's none of your business! Ling Qingwan took a deep breath and suppressed her anger.
"You probably don't know that when I returned to the Marquis' Mansion, my parents asked the nanny in the mansion to teach me the rules, and I know them all. If the Seventh Prince blames you, you can say that I was the one who sent you back, how about that?" Ling Qingwan and Nanny Qiu started to discuss.
The maids in the palace have seen all kinds of people, so how could they take her seriously? When they teach her the rules, they will definitely show no mercy. It is better to have Madam Park. If Wei Xun secretly tells Madam Qiu something and orders her to be stricter, Ling Qingwan will really have a hard time.
"Second Miss, the Seventh Prince has ordered that no matter how reluctant you are, I cannot go back on my own, otherwise the Seventh Prince will have my head. Please don't make things difficult for me, Second Miss." Nanny Qiu said firmly.
Ling Qingwan had no choice but to give in. In the next few days, Nanny Qiu lived in the Marquis' Mansion.
Aunt Qiu was extremely strict in her teaching. She required Ling Qingwan to remain still for an hour or two for each movement. There were often pig-slaughtering sounds coming from the Iris Pavilion. Only when Tan Hongbo came to visit could Ling Qingwan take a break from her busy schedule and rest for a while.
"What did she scold me for today?"
In the palace, Wei Xun had just finished practicing martial arts. He wiped his sword carefully and put it back into the scabbard.
Tan Hongbo grinned as brightly as he could. He turned over from the table and sat down on the stone bench.
"She said you have a sour face every day and you don't know who you are showing it to. She said you are narrow-minded and she has never offended you, but you are still making things difficult for her." Tan Hongbo repeated what Ling Qingwan said when she scolded Wei Xun.
Of course, Tan Hongbo still didn't dare to say some harsh words. He was afraid that Wei Xun would get really angry and send him and Ling Qingwan to hell.
"Why do you keep saying the same thing over and over again?" Wei Xun's lips curled up into a smile, revealing dimples on his cheeks. The maid had just brought him the tea, which was still warm, and Wei Xun raised his head and drank it all.
"You are a very strange person. You actually like to hear others scold you." Tan Hongbo rolled his eyes and looked at Wei Xun as if he was a fool.
Seeing Wei Xun like this, he seemed a little unhappy that Ling Qingwan didn't scold him as much. Tan Hongbo really couldn't understand Wei Xun's thoughts.
"It's not someone else, it's Ling Qingwan." Wei Xun reminded Tan Hongbo, still unable to stop laughing.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, okay?" Tan Hongbo nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would not argue with Wei Xun. "But then again, you clearly care about her very much, and you insist on torturing Wanwan. What do you want to do by being the villain?"
Tan Hongbo didn't tell Ling Qingwan that he had been visiting her every day these days, but it was actually in accordance with Wei Xun's order. On one hand, he was good to her, and on the other hand, he was not good to her. Even a love expert like Tan Hongbo couldn't understand Wei Xun's mind.
"She has the same stubborn personality as me. If I treat her well openly, she won't be able to accept it calmly. The Queen held a palace banquet, ostensibly inviting everyone to enjoy the flowers and have fun, but in fact it was to help those unmarried princes find good matches. The Crown Prince and I were both competing for Wanwan, so the Queen naturally made up her mind to meet her." Wei Xun told Tan Hongbo.
"But aren't you afraid that the Queen will be very pleased with Wanwan and persuade the Emperor to grant her marriage to the Crown Prince?" Tan Hongbo was puzzled. Wei Xun was very thoughtful and should not have thought of this. "I think it's better to let Wanwan be more casual. In this way, the Queen will look down on Wanwan, and even if the Crown Prince likes Wanwan very much, the Queen will not allow it."
After hearing what Tan Hongbo said, Wei Xun shook his head.
"So many eyes will be staring at you, all wanting to see Wanwan make a fool of herself. She is inferior to others in the eyes of others because of her different background. If you are looked down upon and suppressed everywhere, would you be happy?" Wei Xun asked Tan Hongbo.
Tan Hongbo was speechless. He was born into a noble family in Beijing, and he had never experienced the hardships that Ling Qingwan had gone through. What he could not have imagined was that Wei Xun, who had always been high and mighty, could now understand Ling Qingwan's feelings.
"The Queen will not allow Ling Qingwan to become the Crown Princess." Wei Xun curled his thin lips slightly, as if everything was under his control.
After five or six days of hard training, Ling Qingwan was exhausted. Her whole body ached, and she lay on the bed to rest.
Qiao'er brought the food, but Ling Qingwan had no appetite at all. She asked her to put it aside and then let her leave. When Ling Qingwan thought of Aunt Qiu's face, she couldn't help getting goose bumps all over her body.
What's worse is that as soon as she closed her eyes, the scene of Aunt Qiu ordering her to learn to bend over and turn sideways appeared in her mind. Ling Qingwan stared at the ceiling motionlessly, and her mood could only be described as despair.
Really, this thing is more tiring than planting rice in the fields. Ling Qingwan couldn't stand doing farm work since she was a child. She wondered how those weak and fragile rich girls managed to survive.
After much thought, Ling Qingwan could only come to one conclusion, that is, Wei Xun was deliberately making trouble for her.
"You stinky fish face, don't let me get the chance, otherwise I will make you taste the pain too!" Ling Qingwan gritted her teeth and threatened at the air.
"What's causing you so much pain?"
As soon as Ling Qingwan finished speaking, a familiar voice reached her ears. Ling Qingwan shuddered and almost rolled off the bed.
Sure enough, Wei Xun climbed over the window and walked to the bed.
The lights flickered and swayed in the wind. Ling Qingwan looked up at Wei Xun and felt that his face was extremely terrifying.
"Hmm?" Seeing Ling Qingwan was silent, Wei Xun urged her to answer.
"What do you think?" Ling Qingwan's complaints about Wei Xun surpassed her respect for his status. She rolled her eyes and moved to the other side.
Wei Xun stopped talking. Ling Qingwan was just wondering what he was going to do when a pair of hands touched her ankles and then lifted her pants.
"Ah... um." Ling Qingwan was frightened and screamed subconsciously, but fortunately Wei Xun was quick and covered her mouth.
"Miss? What's wrong with you?" Qiao'er heard the noise and asked anxiously through the door.
"It's okay, I just bumped into it accidentally." Ling Qingwan pretended nothing happened.
If Qiao'er found out that Wei Xun appeared in her room in the middle of the night, it would be even harder to explain. Now the Marquis' Mansion was saying that she and Wei Xun had fallen in love, and although Ling Qingwan was too lazy to pay attention, she didn't want to cause more misunderstandings.
"Is the young lady hurt? Otherwise, I will call the court doctor to take a look?" Qiao'er was extremely worried, fearing that Ling Qingwan was in pain.
"It's okay. It's been like this these days. I'm used to it. Just do your own thing and don't worry about me."
Ling Qingwan said this to Wei Xun. She wanted to see if Wei Xun would feel embarrassed knowing how much she had suffered in the past few days.
